Abstract excerpt
Seed vigor is a critical determinant of crop establishment and yield, yet the epigenetic mechanisms underlying this trait remain largely unexplored. Here, we identified a histone methyltransferase, OsSET37, and characterized its essential role in regulating seed vigor in rice (Oryza sativa). Consistent with OsSET37 being a member of the SDG (SET domain group) family, our results demonstrate that the loss of...
